Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This facility provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility performed well in our short-term care category. Indeed, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our most elite grades. Our short-term care scores are vital for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Another area of strength for this facility is in inspections. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we analyzed is long-term care. This facility received a very good long-term care grade this year, with a grade of C. Even though this was not nearly as impressive as a few of its other category grades, this is nevertheless a decent score in this area. In calculating our long-term care grades, we assess the personal care offered to a nursing home's patients. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable datapoint. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
